Bernd Kuchenbeiser

A big announcement (it is in the brewing luminous).

We have lost a great mind. Hans Zender died on Tuesday. I love his writings (read!) and admire his crazy ‚Winterreise‘ (especially the version of #JulianPregardien).

Dear friends: any recommendations for must-see book-stores, -exhibitions and -places in London? Thanks in advance!

Typography isn’t performance and vanity.

Innocent typography is precisely: never to avoid the worst.

To have a system, this is what is fatal for typography; not to have one, this too is fatal.

You cannot really love typography; you can only think it.

I set type because I don’t know what I think until I read what I set.

@bulbgrafix A belated thankyou for your great recommendation. Bought 3.

Don’t give up, digging for the truth. Fou Ts’ong’s Chopin Mazurkas are a miracle and revelation youtube.com/watch?v=6SJ5uv…

Dear friends: #OneDayInLausanne -- what to see, where to go? Thanks in advance!

Good typography avoids perfectionism that can degrade into a self-conscious demonstration.

The future of typography will most likely incorporate some form of readability.

We are no longer operating according to a shared system of ideas about what typography could be.

Historical linearity is so twentieth century.

@thisisgrey Previews will arrive some years later but are absolutely worth the wait.

Typography unfolds in endless cycles of soiling and cleaning.

Typography needs urgency and patience.
